Jesus lives again to live forever

Praise God Jesus rose from the dead!

If he had not risen, Christianity and the faith would not have been possible, and humanity would have been doomed in her decadence and depravity.

Thank God we are not hopeless and destitute. We have a future and an assurance that the life we have in Jesus is eternal life.

Here in lies our confidence that because Jesus lives forever, we also will live forever with Him in eternity.

Amen!

Positioning yourself- closeness or proximity

Rth 3:2 NET Now Boaz, with whose female servants you worked, is our close relative. Look, tonight he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor.

In most cases, your miracle is closer than you can imagine. 

God often put people, things and situations in your life design in a way to help you in your time of need.

There is a reason family members are called immediate relatives because these are the people who stands for you, or stand on your behalf. 

Sometimes, friends can act like a close relative, and there are few closer than family members. They assume this status because they are available and you have build trust over a period of time.

Look nearby; not far for your help is nearer than you imagine. 

Still here by God’s grace

It is by the grace of God that we stand for by strength shall no man prevail or succeed.


“He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.
1 Samuel 2:9 NLT


So, it is not of him who knows how to do it or behave better, but it is God who keeps and sustain those who put their trust in Him.

So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.
Romans 9:16 NLT


Therefore, we can say by the grace of God We are still here.
Amen!

God is in it all

Ecc 3:14 NET I also know that whatever God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken away from it. God has made it this way, so that men will fear him.

It is because of bible verse like the one above that I believe God is in control of everything even if the situation says otherwise.

God holds it all together and He is in it all so that nothing happens outside of His limitless, sovereign power.

We may not understand many things, but God understands all things, and He’s in control of everything.

So, what do we do in this type of situation?
I understand that the best thing to do when you don’t know where you’re going is to ask for direction, and when direction is not provided, you simply follow the lead of the person leading you, or the lead of the person who knows the way.

God knows the way, and Jesus said, “I am the way.”

Therefore, follow Him even when things look blurring and confusing.

We shall not miss it in Jesus mighty name,
Amen!

The quiet day

So, Jesus died on the cross on Friday.

There was a lot of chaos and talking about Jesus leading to His death.

Then came Saturday, and everything was quiet. No one is saying anything.

The quiet day.

But it seems that the quiet day was the most active day for Jesus.

He was busy fighting on our behalf, fighting against death, Satan, and our sin.

He fought and defeated all our enemies.

This is the only reason we claim victory even before we fight any battle because Jesus won it all for us.

I’m confident that Sunday’s coming, and there will resume talking and, of course, some great things.

The quiet day was the day Jesus conquered all. Amen!

The Believer’s anchor

The only hope of any believer is in the infallible nature of God to fail.

Discouragement is possible and happens.
Life’s event turns unpalatable, and Christians get discouraged.

Your anchor is God.

“The love of many will grow cold as a result of problems and troubles all around. Remember, Jesus mentioned this.

So, hang onto nothing else except hope in God.

He’s capable of saving to the very end.

Your hope in God will not and cannot fail you.

This world will definitely pass away with everything in it, but those who put their trust in God will abide forever.

The Lord is able to save to the very end.

Stop praying; start working!

Yeah, stop praying and start doing some work!

James 1:22-25 said we should be doing what the Word says and not just hear it only.

Hearing the Word but not doing anything is of no use.

Jesus gave us a perfect example. After He finished praying, He would often get up and start His day with His disciples.

It would be spiritual laziness to spend the entire time praying and doing nothing.

Even God works!

God spent the day creating the world and retiring in the “night.”

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves as if prayers solve everything without acting or working.

Let’s get to work out our faith with some works.
Amen!

By and by!

By and by when the morning comes;
All the saints of God  are gathered home;
We’ll tell the story of how we’ve overcome;
For we’ll understand it better by and by.

This song is a reminisce.

Now, I believe I have a clearer picture of it.
A lot is happening in our world that we don’t understand, but when the Lord comes, no more confusion.

Everything hidden will be revealed. So many questions beg for answers, but the request for answers shall be granted. It’s a matter of time.

God will reveal His purpose, and His plans shall ultimately come to pass, and the finality of it all is when He comes.

Be Yourself!

Don’t stress yourself out trying to be another person.

You cannot!

Every attempt to live another person’s life causes heartache.

Why put yourself through the mystery of living another life that is not yours?

In the short run, you feel all the inadequacies, and in the long run, there is a lifetime of emptiness.

Free yourself and be yourself.
